Recorded live at the Bull and Gate, 12th Jan 2002.
Lyrics
NEVER FORGET
Away from home and on your own
What’s facing you is a poor man’s fate
Your parents don’t give, the bills all take
Your coming to the end, you’re in a state
It’s not your fault, there’s not enough
For an easy life of simple stuff
Chorus
Never forget, you’ve got to pay a way
And if you ever find its friends that you’re short of
No one really cares – it’s money you must crave
Down and out, you can’t face
The faceless names that want it back
They’re getting close, you can’t ignore
The pressing balance of the facts
There’s no more son, you’ve had too much
As another debt kicks you in the crotch
Chorus
You’re out of luck, as time drags by
Debts are rising endlessly
Friends you’ve lost, you can’t repay
Their faith, their cash, their honesty
You’d better hope for tomorrow
Beg it, steal or try and borrow
Chorus
Another day to struggle through
Avoiding the collectors calls
You haven’t got a clue what to do
When something down the hallway calls
Time is up, you’ll get what for,
Cos the bailiffs now are kicking at your door
Chorus
Away from home and on your own
What’s facing you is a poor man’s fate
Your parents don’t give, the bills all take
Your coming to the end, you’re in a state
You’re on the street, living in a box
Living in a box, in a cardboard box
Chorus
